Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage 2 English Screenshots Show Off Dream Mode

Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage 2 covers the Raoh, Celestial Emperor, and Land of Shura stories from the manga. Tecmo Koei also created brand new scenarios for the game that focus on characters that weren’t as prominently featured in Dream Mode.

These screenshots from Tecmo Koei Europe give us a peek at Legend Mode and the game-only Dream Mode storylines. Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage 2 comes out on February 8 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. In Europe, the Wii U version comes out a day earlier, but will only be available as a download. North America has Fist of the North Star: Ken’s Rage 2 scheduled for February 5 and February 7 for Wii U. Since the Wii U version has a separate release date, it appears the Wii U version will be a download-only release here too.

Tecmo Koei apparently did confirm a couple days ago that Ken’s Rage 2 will be download only for Wii U. Source: multiplayerblog.mtv.com/2013/01/11/fist-of-the-north-2-kens-rage-2-will-be-download-only-for-the-wii-u/

I guess this will be my first Wii U download purchase, been looking forward to this one for a while.

Is there enough space on the wii u’s hardrive to hold it?

one piece for the ps3 was 12 gigs.

i’m looking forward to the game.

Personally I’m fairly indifferent, since I have a 750GB USB hard drive plugged into my WiiU with nothing on it yet.

But it’s a fair point that owners of the Basic system (8GB) might be pushing the limits of their internal storage capacity, and it’s likely to be a healthy chunk of even the 32GB Deluxe WiiU’s storage.

I’m really hoping this game will be worth it. I mean, I want to like it since I loved the first game and it’s still freakin’ Fist of the North Star. However, with disappointing news like the removal of the attack name cut-ins, the Wii U version being download only, and no doubt a lack of an English voice track (I thought the cast in the first game was perfect for their roles!), it’s hard to stay optimistic.

I’ll still get it once I have the opportunity, I just wish there was some good news to make me more excited for this.

Oh man, Dream Mode for Falco and Jyuza is all kinds of yes please, and the boxer guy… there is no way that mode won’t have manly tears by the end of it, if they insist on sticking to the previous games Dream Mode endings ;_;
